Abstract

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) is a commonly used therapeutic modality used in athletic training used for treating delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Even though IPC devices are used as current treatments for DOMS, there is minimal research on IPC devices for DOMS. Recovery Pump is a IPC device that is provides intermittent air compression. Game Ready is an intermittent compression device that adds cryotherapy to the treatment. Game Ready is hypothesized to improve power, agility, and speed after three 30 minute treatments. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Recovery Pump and Game Ready on power, agility, and speed for DOMS over a 72 hour period. Our study included 9 healthy participants (6 male, 3 female). Warmed up and static stretching was performed before baseline testing for power, agility, and speed. DOMS were induced by using a leg-press protocol at 80 percent of participants 1-RM. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three different intervention groups (Recovery Pump, Game Ready, and control group). Previous research stated maximum amount of pain is experienced at 48 hours post exercise. There was no significant interaction between the intervention groups on power (F2, 6= .03, p =.97, η2=0.009), agility (F2, 6= .61, p =.57, η2=0.17), and speed(F2, 6= .77, p =.50). There was a significant interaction between pain and time(F3,18= 14.95, p
